Rap States

Tramar Lacel Dillard came up with his rap name, FLO RIDA, by splitting his home state in two.

Other states present similar possibilities. The most obvious are KEN TUCKY, MARY LAND, and the ALs — ABAMA and ASKA.

But there are more: ARI ZONA, CAL IFORNIA, LOU ISIANA, MA INE, and either MISS ISSIPPI or OURI.

Splitting off a name at the end works, too: NEV ADA, WYO MING, INDI ANA, and the NIA trio of CALIFOR, PENNSYLVA, and VIRGI.

Finally, there's CAROL INA and LOUIS I. ANA, which can work both ways, and the unfortunate IDA HO.
